Symposium: “Women in Business: Economic Transformation: What New Careers Lie Ahead?”

Tuesday, October 17, 2017, from 3:00 PM to 9:30 PM
Aimé Schoenig Room, Richter Space

Event open to professionals, individuals, and more specifically professionals in the building trades, digital technology, and healthcare sectors.
The proportion of women in the workforce is growing, with a particular increase in skilled occupations. The DARES report (April 2015) shows that the proportion of female employment is expected to continue to grow, despite the persistence of a significant gender gap in certain sectors.
The economic transformation resulting from the digitization of activities now affects all professions. It is no longer just a question of the new economy or the digital economy. We are experiencing a profound restructuring of the framework of professional activities in all sectors, both traditional and technological.
Business leaders today express a need for new professions that require original combinations of skills, involving a relatively high level of tertiary education. The publication by the Ministry of Families, Children, and Women's Rights (key figures for 2016) shows that significant professional inequalities persist, despite the strong presence of women in the tertiary sector. What career prospects are available to women in this new world of work? What professions can they hope to enter? What professional future lies ahead of them?
The second edition of the "Women in Business" conference offers anyone interested in discussing and offering new insights into this major professional development issue of the 21st century the opportunity to share their views.
Participants in these discussions will be representatives of companies, networks, and institutions in which new professions open to gender diversity offer innovative approaches to women's work. The discussions aim to chart new paths for professional approaches throughout France.
